To say Jon Stewart isn’t a fan of the NCAA would be an understatement.

The “Daily Show” host went off on the governing body of college athletics Thursday, ripping the NCAA for claiming it was “disappointed” in college athletes’ decision to unionize.

Stewart’s comments come just days after the conclusion of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, during which University of Connecticut star Shabazz Napier called out the NCAA and said he sometimes goes to bed “starving.”

“How could a guy playing on the biggest stage in college sports be going hungry?” Stewart asked incredulously.

Check out the full video of Stewart’s rant below.

It's amazing that Drake is hosting the @Espys but it's gonna be tough for him to hand out all those awards to Rihanna's ex boyfriends

I missed the part I guess about the 95% of the students-athletes whose sports do not make money or the many schools where even football and basketball don't make a profit. If the students in the profitable programs get paid by what they are bringing in for the school then all the other student-athletes will be out of a job. Other than basketball, athletes have a choice and are welcome to go play for a league where they can be paid if they don't think the education is enough compensation.
